Well it's been a while! I have had nothing to really blog about lately because med school has been average at giving us free stuff, luckily Maori health came to the rescue.
This free afternoon tea was a much needed relief from an afternoon where I would have preferred to have contracted Fournier's disease. On first appearance there was a good variety especially for an afternoon tea (were they trying to make up for something?). On offer was salmon and chicken buns, cold crumbed chicken breasts, club sandwiches, some funny pudding things, and bread with various dips (fancy!).
The club sandwiches had standard fillings but their potentially good flavour was masked by the amount of mustard that was lathered on, simple mistake. On a more positive note the salmon buns gave me a semi. There was a good salmon:salad:bun ratio making them very tasty.
I tried the chicken, it was cold, kinda dry but a nice addition to the afternoon tea. I am never one to complain about more meat being on offer.
The bread and assorted dips were very impressive and I unfortunately had to double dip here in order to try all the dips with one piece of bread (sorry guys!). Very original tasty dips with good quality bread.
Last I tried the pudding things. I went halves with Rob cause I had eaten a fair bit and was reaching capacity. I didn't even know what was going on with these things. It was like a mushy apple crumble cake thing with a berry base which provided some flavour. This afternoon tea was clearly not focussed on the sweet side of things.
Overall an impressive afternoon tea with only a couple of let downs. These however did not really dull my excitement as a free afternoon tea to me is the same as a big mac voucher to an Ethiopian.
